Here is the 2nd single off of Rihanna’s upcoming fourth studio album, “Rated R.” It was produced by the super-producer duo, Stargate, and written by Teruis “The-Dream” Nash. The recently leaked pics of Rihanna on the set of a music video, are rumored to be for this song. I guess we should be on the look out for a music video for this song in the near future. Anyway, Enjoy!

The 2009 Hottest MCs in the Game rollout is on! As in 2007 and 2008, the list, determined by the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust, is based on an MC’s achievements right now, rather than an entire career. The criteria is based on a combination of rhyme skill, flow and how those things are implemented musically as the main factors. The Brain Trust also considers buzz, impact, commercial success — sales, airplay, business ventures, Web presence, endorsements and helping to spawn other artists’ careers — and the intangible, impact: Can an artist not only contribute to the rap game but influence cultural shifts? Are they trendsetters? All of these factors — and the results of our audience poll, which closed last week and gets a vote at the Roundtable during the Brain Trust’s debate — contribute to deciding who is the Hottest MC in the Game. We’ll be announcing an MC’s rank every day this week, with the full list revealed on Sunday at 10 p.m. during “P. Diddy’s Starmaker”!

Here is the latest music video from “The Soloist” himself, Jamie Foxx… lol! This is the remix to his original version of “Digital Girl,” which is on his “Intuition” album. Jamie Foox was assisted by Drake, The-Dream, and Kanye West for this remix version. The music video was directed by the legendary, Hype Williams, who also directed the music video for Jamie’s smash hit, “Blame It.” I also have some Behind-The-Scenes footage for the folks that like to know the process that goes into the making of the finished product you and I are looking at below.
